lyrics
Trapped by fate, a victim of your own mind
Evil things that other people do
Give in to the pointless seething anger
Bang your head 'gainst the wall of blame for all the good that'll do you
It was my fault: I infuriate
Your fault or a random act of fate?
CHORUS
Try and make some sense of it. But you can't.
Try to make the best of it. Just not yet.
Shot rips through the silent moonlit night sky
Screaming, piercing, murderous and blind
Meant for someone else, one in a million
Leaves me wondering how you could leave me behind
A bullet with your name on it
A bullet with someone to blame for it
CHORUS
Planetary motion...
...a droplet in the Ocean...
At the mercy of the raging tides
Tortured to exhaustion
Bound to the wheel of Fortune
Helpless, paralyzed
Love is blind, they say, her aim uncaring
Sure enough you felt that piercing dart
Delightful pain so deep and so redeeming
But who controls your mind, your soul, your heart?
It was my fault
It was your fault
A bullet...
A bullet with your name on it
CHORUS
Evil things that other people do
Give in to the pointless seething anger
Bang your head 'gainst the wall of blame for all the good that'll do you
It was my fault: I infuriate
Your fault or a random act of fate?
CHORUS
Try and make some sense of it. But you can't.
Try to make the best of it. Just not yet.
Shot rips through the silent moonlit night sky
Screaming, piercing, murderous and blind
Meant for someone else, one in a million
Leaves me wondering how you could leave me behind
A bullet with your name on it
A bullet with someone to blame for it
CHORUS
Planetary motion...
...a droplet in the Ocean...
At the mercy of the raging tides
Tortured to exhaustion
Bound to the wheel of Fortune
Helpless, paralyzed
Love is blind, they say, her aim uncaring
Sure enough you felt that piercing dart
Delightful pain so deep and so redeeming
But who controls your mind, your soul, your heart?
It was my fault
It was your fault
A bullet...
A bullet with your name on it
CHORUS
